Chapter 339: Chapter 339: 12 Days in a Flash

Lin Xinghai absolutely could not neglect strengthening his body.

Besides, given the massive size of the team now, there was nothing under normal circumstances that required him to personally handle.

Under these circumstances, Lin Xinghai certainly wouldn’t waste time and would continue to strengthen his body.

Of course, if an unexpected situation did arise, he would take action. After all, Cultivation using the System Technique wasn’t something that couldn’t be stopped.

It was just that if he didn’t complete a full Circulation, he wouldn’t get the full effect, and his next Cultivation session would have to start from the very beginning.

Besides his Cultivation, Lin Xinghai didn’t forget another important task: instructing the other members to improve their Gun Technique.

However, for Lin Xinghai, this didn’t actually take up much of his time.

Each session of strengthening his body took an hour, and he would take a short break in between, allowing Liu Miaomiao to use her Superpower to help heal the damage to his meridians.

Lin Xinghai could make perfect use of this time to instruct the members of the two Mercenary Corps.

For others, instructing them on Gun Technique might be a time-consuming and draining task, but for Lin Xinghai, it was incredibly easy.

This was because he only needed to release his Perception Power to effortlessly observe every move made by the members of the two Mercenary Corps.

And with his current level of insight, he could basically identify the problem just by watching someone fire two shots.

Then, he would use his Communication Device to contact the person directly and point out the issue.

The entire process was fast and convenient; he never even had to step out of the Armored Vehicle.

Over the course of the entire day, Lin Xinghai only took action once. That was in the afternoon when they encountered a "Giant Arm."

Even though it was a full 5 kilometers away from their team, Lin Xinghai immediately stopped his Cultivation, activated his Mecha, and gave chase to kill it.

This was also one of his goals for accompanying the team: to kill as many Mutated Zombies as possible and establish a deterrent.

And though Lin Xinghai had only acted once that day, the income for each Mercenary Corps had increased by 50% or more compared to the day before.

One reason for this was that Lin Xinghai had called in a large number of Combat Robots, providing one-on-one personal protection for each Mercenary. This way, during combat, those Mercenaries could completely let loose and attack without any reservations.

The other reason was that with Lin Xinghai in the team, Fang Tianhe was much more confident when commanding.

Yesterday, they had only dared to operate near the sub-base, never venturing further than an 8-kilometer radius.

But today, their starting point was 10 kilometers out, and they pushed as far as 15 kilometers. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

By venturing so deep into Guanghan City, the number of Zombies they encountered was incomparable to the day before, so it was only natural that their income increased significantly.

...

In the days that followed, Lin Xinghai’s life fell into a near-identical routine.

During the day, he led the team out to clear Zombies and instructed the members of the two Mercenary Corps on their Gun Technique in between his Cultivation. At night, he held Liu Miaomiao and did some unspeakable things. Life was quite comfortable.

During the process of clearing out Zombies, there were some minor disturbances, as they would occasionally encounter Mutated Zombies or a zombie horde.

Whenever this happened, Lin Xinghai would immediately mobilize to kill the Mutated Zombie. As for the zombie hordes, he left them entirely to Fang Tianhe to handle.

「Just like that, a full 12 days passed in the blink of an eye.」

In those 12 days, both Lin Xinghai and the two Mercenary Corps under his command had undergone earth-shattering changes.

Host: Lin Xinghai

Physique: 99.9 Points

Power: 99.9 Points

Speed: 99.9 Points

Blood Qi Power: 308,500 Points

Genetic Optimization Level: 99.9%+

Third Level Superpower: Speed (Speed increased by 300%, Duration: five minutes) (Energy Value: 10/10)

Intermediate Shooting Skill: Proficiency 1%+

Phantom Body Technique (Minor Success): Proficiency 1%+

At this point, Lin Xinghai’s body had been strengthened to its absolute limit.

Of course, it wasn’t that his body couldn’t be strengthened further, but that he didn’t dare to.

This was because the fourth Genetic Lock in his body, once incomparably sturdy, was now on the verge of breaking.

It was worth mentioning that during this process, once Lin Xinghai’s three Basic Attributes all reached 99 points, any further strengthening would cause all three attributes to increase simultaneously, but only by 0.1 points each, for a combined increase of just 0.3 points.

However, although the number of points gained per session had decreased again, his Genetic Optimization Level had also changed, reaching 99.1%.

This phenomenon surprised Lin Xinghai, but since there were no other changes, he didn’t pay it any more mind.

During these 12 days, besides improving his own strength, Lin Xinghai also set aside a few hours each day to absorb Elemental Crystals, increasing his reserves of Blood Qi Power.

Although his need for Blood Qi Power wasn’t great at his current stage as one of the Optimized, that didn’t mean it would be the same after he reached the Blood Qi Realm.

Moreover, he wasn’t sure how convenient it would be to hunt Zombies once he went to East Sea Academy, so he needed to prepare in advance.

Over these 12 days, he set aside time every day to absorb Elemental Crystals, increasing his Blood Qi Power from just over 120,000 points to 300,000 points before finally stopping.

Besides the changes in himself, the strength of the two Mercenary Corps had also undergone an earth-shattering transformation.

After all, over these many days, Lin Xinghai had never once stopped instructing these members on their Gun Technique.

Although Lin Xinghai’s instructions were only a few words each time, correcting just one or two minor mistakes was often enough to bring about a significant improvement in their Gun Technique.

Thus, in just 12 days, the new recruits of the two Mercenary Corps had almost all become skilled shooters.

As for the original members, they had also improved considerably.

Of course, besides their Gun Technique, the personal strength of the members of the two Mercenary Corps had also made great strides.

After all, the two Mercenary Corps had earned so many Points that they bought a large batch of Genetic Medicine Liquid to distribute as benefits. As long as the members could absorb it, they had enough Genetic Medicine Liquid to drink like water.

Outstanding performers were even generously rewarded with Intermediate Gene Medicine Liquid.

Under such conditions, it would have been difficult for the members’ strength not to improve.

When many of the new members were recruited, their Genetic Optimization Level was only at 30%, having just broken through their first Genetic Lock not long before.

But after these 12 days, almost no one in the two Mercenary Corps had a Genetic Optimization Level below 40%. Many had even reached 50% and were expected to attempt to break their second Genetic Lock soon.

The reason these members could progress so rapidly was, of course, not just the abundance of Cultivation Resources, but also Lin Xinghai’s recruitment requirements: all new members had to have a Genetic Assessment of C Level or higher.

With such potential, in any other Mercenary Corps, they would have been groomed as candidates for Squad Leader positions.

Under these circumstances, it was no surprise their rate of improvement was so fast.

Of course, while the new members improved quickly, the old members were not far behind. Basically, all the old members had already broken through their second Genetic Lock.

With their level of strength, if they were sent to a first or Second Level Mercenary Corps, any one of them could serve as a Squad Leader.

As for members like Roger, who had been using Intermediate Gene Medicine Liquid for their Cultivation all along, their rate of improvement was even faster.
